April Newsletter – retreat: Heroes and Heroines of Enlightenment

Spring seems to be having trouble deciding whether or not it has arrived. I hope you are enjoying the sunny days and managing to keep warm in the evenings.

Aro Ling Buddhist Centre will be closed for the first week in April because we are away on retreat. So please note that our 1st Saturday of the month event, Discovering the Spaciousness of Mind, will not take place on Saturday 4th, and classes and groups for the following week are cancelled.

We will be open again on Tuesday 14th with a slightly adjusted schedule for the summer term. Please do check out the revised schedule at the bottom of this post.

Our April retreat is entitled Heroes and Heroines of Enlightenment.

April 24 –26Heroes & Heroines of Enlightenment
A weekend retreat of 5 sessions – attend 1 or as many sessions as you wish
£6 a session, £25 for all 5 sessions paid as one sum

Ngakma Nor’dzin and Ngakpa ’ö-Dzin will lead this weekend of stories
of realised Buddhist practitioners. These tales function as inspiration
for our own Buddhist practice, but are also often most entertaining.
They may challenge our view of morality and societal norms, and enable
us to step out of our habitual patterns of perception and conduct.
Questions about the stories are warmly welcomed throughout the weekend,
so that they can provide a basis for further insight into Buddhist view
and practice.
